Self-Sabotage

Sabotage is a common word you hear during your weight loss journey to keep you mindful of obstacles surrounding you and the unintentional interfering with your weight loss.

Having weight loss surgery changed my life and makes me think the word sabotage only relates to food and making wrong choices. I recently participated in a support group session and the subject of sabotage came up not about those around you who unintentionally impair your journey it was about self-sabotage.

During your weight loss journey think about what you personally may be doing unintentionally to sabotage your weight loss. Do you eat enough protein? Are you drinking enough fluids? Are you taking your vitamins? Are you getting enough rest? Do you take time out of the day just for you? Do you give yourself credit for what you have accomplished to date? Do you exercise on a regular a basis?

Are you using your tool to its fullest potential?

Be mindful each and every day of how you treat your personal piece of real estate (your pouch) and ask if you are doing what is best for YOU!!

Remind yourself why you chose to take this personal journey and say out loud “I deserve to live a happy healthy life!”
